Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP)
Lead Director: Bryan Machin and Lead Manager: Steve Brennan Background The NHS White Paper, Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS set out the Government's long-term vision for the future of the NHS. The White Paper recognised the financial challenges the NHS faced and the role Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) would play in supporting the NHS in identifying efficiencies whilst driving up quality. At a regional and local level there are QIPP plans which address the quality and productivity challenge, and these are supported by the national QIPP workstreams which are producing tools and programmes to help local change leaders in successful implementation. There are 12 national workstreams in total. Five deal broadly with how we commission care, covering long-term conditions, right care, safe care, urgent care and end of life care. Five deal with how we run, staff and supply our organisations, covering productive care (staff productivity), non-clinical procurement, medicines use and procurement, efficient back office functions and pathology rationalisation. There are two enabling workstreams covering primary care commissioning and contracting and the role of digital technology in delivering quality and productivity improvement. Local context The PCT had a plan to deliver £14.9m of QIPP efficiencies during 2010/11. We had a programme approach to deliver these efficiencies with each of our strategic programme areas having an individual QIPP target to deliver. NHS Kirklees delivered all of the required efficiencies. The majority of this, £10.4m, was delivered from the planned actions put in place during the year. The remaining balance of £4.5m was delivered through specific mitigating actions put in place to address slippage on QIPP plans. This slippage mainly related to QIPP schemes designed to reduce demand and spend in secondary care settings.
